Yes, some Australia work visas can be obtained without a job offer. These include skilled independent or nominated visas that allow individuals to live and work based on their skills rather than employer sponsorship. Key visa subclasses without job offer requirements are:
- Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)
- Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)
- Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)
These visas target skilled professionals to fill labor shortages and offer pathways to permanent residency without employer sponsorship. Applicants must still meet eligibility criteria like skills assessment and English proficiency set by the Australian government.
